PITTSBURGH — As the Pittsburgh Steelers tried to put up some points before halftime, receiver Roman Wilson exited the game and headed to the locker room.
Wilson, a third-year Michigan product, appeared to be holding his wrist after an 11-yard reception that was overturned before Chris Boswell nailed a 48-yard field goal to make it 17-13 with 21 seconds remaining in the first half.
That was Wilson's only target of the game to that point, with running back Jaylen Warren having taken a short pass 80 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, then tight end Pat Freiermuth reeled in a one-yard score in the second.
At halftime, Warren is the Steelers ' leading receiver against Indianapolis, with five grabs for 81 yards.
The Steelers are already without No. 2 wideout Michael Pittman Jr., whose foot injury landed him on the injured reserve for the next four weeks, at least. If Wilson's injury is serious enough to sideline him for the rest of the matchup, Rodgers might have to lean on Brandon Smith, a practice squad call-up, and rookie returner Kaden Wetjen.
Ben Skowronek, another receiver, is questionable to return to the matchup with a leg injury, making the situation even more unclear.
